Slime Seijo - Ch. 36 - A Chance Meeting

[Seetee]

Thank you so much for these translated chapters!

A little bit of jelly is never wrong!

 

[Mangamoz]

Trope of having eyes closed -> Nun slams into Jelly and injures herself because she has her eyes closed. LOL.

Why is the church's understanding of 'Revelation' so self-serving of the kingdom? Sounds sus. Same church that made no intervention towards original Jelly. Did they not know how bad she was? Or did they know, but still not do anything?

All that wild goose chase to find the book, and we still haven't learned anything new from it. Would have been nice if Jelly read a few more pages. Also, if the goddess is managing the book, why did Celestria lose it?

I'm guessing that goddess's ability to interfere in the world is very limited. Likely has competing/opposed gods. (Perhaps previous Jelly (inadvertently?) became a follower of an evil god?

The way the goddess has to act in sneaky ways gives me the hunch that she is trying to hide from something, like an evil god.

The kingdom church's morality is dubious, so maybe they are being manipulated by this mystery entity that the goddess is hiding from.

A world where there is gods predicting the future, means free will is nonsense, but at least the cookies taste good right.

I've always disagreed with this. Philosophers and theologians more learned than me may have failed to resolve this question, but at least most accept it's not as cut and dried as some form of predeterminism completely being incompatible with free will.

A god prophesizes the future, but it doesn't mean they necessarily 'predicted' it in the strictest sense of the word. They are simply aware of the result of your free choice, which has yet to be made from your POV but not relevant for a potentially timeless being.

Jelly has come along in character development. She's more human than the Original Jelly.

How will our heroes get out of this predicament? You’ll have to find out in the next issue of Slime Seijo!

thanks for the chapter!

 

[Pilomotor]

Is that really a mole, though? More like a mole that enhanced with dark magic.

He called it an umbra-mole. Umbra is Latin for shadow, so yeah, the name implies a monster that can burrow through the ground and use dark magic.

 

[LTalon]

If we follow that logic, the fact Leon is famous for killing a dragon might be sus. What if Leon didn't kill a dragon and instead he was the dragon.

The other thought is maybe Leon's hatred of monsters is a bluff and he really regrets killing the dragon for one reason or another. Maybe this is setup for having a character that Jelly can be honest with?

 

[Nautical]

mebe dragon killed hero and felt bad and took his placd

 

[CivD666]

When we finally see the Goddess it will be Rimuru!

 

[devilpyro]

Hey goddess, your way of giving the book is kinda sloppy xD

 

[carmozo]

It makes me wonder if Jelly being chosen as a saint wasn't because she herself was actually a saint, but would become the vessel of the person who was.

In your scenario: the goodes is kind of okay with the stuff the victims went through, to reach her goal. Which is kinda shitty.

or maybe he let the dragon go instead of killing it?

 

[AnotherDuck]

Jelly is a wall.

Some divine help is always useful.

Some hero help is also always useful.

Pretty sure Jelly could escape from that darkness.

Why is the church's understanding of 'Revelation' so self-serving of the kingdom? Sounds sus.

Honestly, sounds like how religion has been used throughout history.

 

[Neeckin]

Man it's gonna be awkward if he tries to use a slime on Jelly

 

[Andigo]

or maybe he let the dragon go instead of killing it?

Yes, he's innocent of this killing. Everyone's forgetting his introduction in ch 26. "No... I did not slay a dragon. I only repelled it". Either he's humble and doesn't show anger to his enemy or he legitimately let the dragon off. It makes more sense to me if he let it off.

The other thought is maybe Leon's hatred of monsters is a bluff and he really regrets killing the dragon for one reason or another. Maybe this is setup for having a character that Jelly can be honest with?

At this point, I think he's traumatized by killing monsters he didn't have to. The dragon lived, and slimes are intelligent beings, so monsters are often more than animals. If Leon is a good person who recognizes monster intelligence he'd probably want to be powerful enough he can spare some enemies lives rather than kill them all.

Did they not know how bad she was? Or did they know, but still not do anything?

My theory is that OG Jelly still performed her saintly duties like charging the barrier. Saints with powers seem to be rare (and they aren't all equally powerful) so it's possible that they knew but overlooked her transgressions because they didn't really have a choice.

 

[CountryMage]

There's so much of relevance happening in this chapter!
Jelly actually made a lot of progress in understanding and empathizing with humans by now (that part about not wanting to see Celestria means that she actually is much more knowledgeable about human emotions now than just very recently).
Then there's the fact that this book was absolutely just teleported in there by the goddess herself, so Celestria having had it at a young age actually is quite interesting.
And of course the "village chief" of the slimes seemingly being a special type of monster is very intriguing as well.

I think Celestria's book was a children's story book, that was probably taken away from her in a "put away childish things" kind of way.

 

[Yahya200]

Never bored with dumb saint🤣

 

[nomadicengi]

Never let it escape you say? But what if he defeats it? Can we say he escaped when he killed the one that captured him?

Because I'm pretty sure he can beat it if you give him some time.

 

[Hikineet]

Thanks for the chapters.
